1 00:16:46,610 --> 00:17:16,490 Is there something that as a community, we can do better to get that information out about the before and after, because people like to recreate? I mean, it is. Yeah. So we have a fairly robust website, but it's a government website and people are always hesitant to go there. But it shows pictures of before it talks about the science, the study by Florida Antic University to measure rates of erosion. And it has quite a lot of pictures about that. 2 00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:35,310 and we already have in development a couple of signs recognizing the contribution of the Florida and Land Navigation District that provided approximately half the funding to the project, that recognize them and also show the before and the after why the project was needed and we're working that message into other interpretive elements of the site. 3 00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:41,550 So we've got programs that look at the midden and talk about why protecting the midden and why the shoreline. 4 00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:51,450 But unfortunately we have yet to find a way to touch the people that still think we're building condos out there and let them know that there's no condos going in. 5 00:17:52,630 --> 00:18:04,110 And it's not through lack of opportunity to be educated about it. I think it's the old adage you can bring a host of water, you can't make it drink the information's there. 6 00:18:05,690 --> 00:18:11,030 And we've had some amazing influences pulled a bill with his aerial photography. 7 00:18:11,330 --> 00:18:12,990 He's interviewed me a number of times. 8 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:17,450 We've had the county Benji stew come out and put together a video. 9 00:18:18,170 --> 00:18:20,030 So there's lots of information out there. 10 00:18:20,430 --> 00:18:28,090 I'm happy if the question has its own media outlets to provide images, photographs, 11 00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:32,470 interviews to talk about it, and maybe that's another way to get it. 12 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:36,370 and we will continue to do programs that give tours 13 00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:37,630 and talk about the project. 14 00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:45,760 I guess about a week or two ago, I saw a video. 15 00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:50,580 It was like an aerial view taken from a drone. 16 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,420 Maybe you produced it, I don't know, 17 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,920 but I was very surprised at how much progress 18 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,420 you had made at that point in time. 19 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,840 And I did notice though that there were some comments 20 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:12,860 from mostly local people that were lamenting the fact that their favorite hangout 21 00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:15,700 from when they were teenagers is like disappearing. 22 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,840 But it seemed obvious to me they had no idea that you have lost about five acres of land 23 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:29,380 over the years from I guess basically primarily human interaction with the site. 24 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:38,220 But, no, I was very pleased to see that, I was actually surprised, but obviously you're 25 00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:47,980 aware that about the local people being concerned about their old hangout spot, but this 26 00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:53,880 is progress, and it's very important to preserve those lands, and five acres is a lot of land. 27 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:02,300 The message that I remind people is, you know, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, our communities 28 00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:07,120 were significantly smaller. The number of registered boats in Florida was half of what it 29 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:14,060 is today. The King Tides weren't as high, the storms weren't as powerful. There's so much 30 00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:19,440 change. And if we want the lighthouse to stay an iconic structure, we want the resources 31 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,520 and want the opportunity to continue to exist. We've got to manage it in a sustainable fashion 32 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,240 and that doesn't mean that their kids are going to have any less valuable memories. It just 33 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,760 means that their memories aren't going to apply. I have stopped reading the comments, 34 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,940 I've got to those videos. That has unfortunately not stopped the death threats that I get but 35 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:48,580 but that's just part of being in public life. 36 00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,560 You noted that the ribbon cutting is on December 3, is that open to the public? 37 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:03,040 So the formal ribbon cutting itself is a ceremony with a keynote speaker that the White House 38 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:10,000 is orchestrating and so that bit will be by background check only and they have an invite list 39 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,020 and there are representatives from sequester across the board, invited names on that list. 40 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:22,360 Then the public event will be at 1pm and the tabling starts from 1 to 5 and that will include 41 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:27,340 tours of the lighthouse and it's free to get into the lighthouse, climb the lighthouse that day, 42 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,240 so there'll be food and error, all that kind of stuff. 43 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,320 What was the date when you said that barrier was going to be removed? 44 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:47,720 were boatskin? So it was actually removed earlier this week from three of the beaches, so the beaches 45 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:54,140 that are in front of the retaining wall now no longer has the turbidity barrier in front of it. 46 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:00,840 So those boats can come up there. They're still not supposed to leave the shoreline and climb 47 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,460 into the RNA itself. It's still an active construction site, and there are signs that warn them of 48 00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:12,380 passing. Just this weekend, the local police managed to detain and return home a number of 49 00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:18,540 views who are on the construction barges trying to operate the equipment. We still get those 50 00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:24,720 kind of issues, but it will be formally open. We will be marketing it as open and letting everybody 51 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:33,640 know from that December 3rd date to come and enjoy and use responsibly. So you can bring about 52 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,960 there now. Just in those designated. Just in those pictures. Have you noticed what kind of boat traffic 53 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,660 is coming? You said earlier this week. So one of the beaches has been open for a few weeks with 54 00:22:44,660 --> 00:22:51,420 no turbidity curtain. We've had quite a lot of paddleboarders. A few what I would consider medium-sized 55 00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:58,280 boats about 18 foot centre console come in and sort of sit fishing off the back or step into the 56 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:05,240 water and swim along those beaches. With an 18-foot boat you can get two to three per beach, 57 00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:13,220 which gives you a total of about 16 along the entire shoreline, and a modification from the 58 00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:20,400 original plans. We originally had no dedicated pedestrian access, but we added two where there is 59 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:27,280 a piling that stops anything larger than paddleboard or archaic coming in, and it's focused on making sure 60 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,460 there's been space for those of us that aren't fortunate enough to have a boat. 61 00:23:35,550 --> 00:23:40,670 Peter, would you be okay with doing maybe a video interview with us about, you know, 62 00:23:40,670 --> 00:23:44,910 kind of a construction update, but also maybe sharing people about the beaches being open and how 63 00:23:44,910 --> 00:23:49,750 how they should use their boats and, you know, kind of use it as like a construction update, 64 00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:54,890 but also kind of a, hey, this is this is the new situation for boats. Something like that? 65 00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:55,890 Yep, absolutely. 66 00:23:56,030 --> 00:23:59,910 We're getting that quick WPTV reached out yesterday and wanted to schedule something 67 00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:00,330 next week. 68 00:24:00,450 --> 00:24:02,150 So to get the scoop, we've got to do it. 69 00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:02,870 Yeah, all right. 70 00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:03,370 We're on it. 71 00:24:03,470 --> 00:24:03,890 We're on it. 72 00:24:06,490 --> 00:24:07,290 All right. 73 00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:08,150 Is that it? 74 00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:08,450 Yeah. 75 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:08,990 All right. 76 00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:10,390 Thank you so much for coming. 77 00:24:10,430 --> 00:24:11,170 And I appreciate it. 78 00:24:11,170 --> 00:24:12,010 Appreciate the opportunity. 79 00:24:12,170 --> 00:24:12,750 Thank you very much. 80 00:24:12,810 --> 00:24:15,890 And hopefully you'll come out and sit on December 3rd, if not before. 81 00:24:16,690 --> 00:24:16,990 All right. 82 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:17,570 Thanks. 83 00:24:17,650 --> 00:24:18,070 Thank you. 84 00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:18,590 Thanks Peter. 85 00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:28,460 So the consent agenda, our next item on the agenda here, it says our EAC meetings. 86 00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:30,540 September 9th, 2026. 87 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:32,960 Is that... 88 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,460 Is that the... 89 00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:41,340 It's usually the minutes. 90 00:24:41,540 --> 00:24:42,860 Yeah, it's usually the minutes from 91 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,120 our last meeting which was in August, right? 92 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,560 Right. 93 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,160 Alright, so that's the only change I would make to 94 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,420 the consent agenda. 95 00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:57,880 I make a motion to pardon. 96 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,440 The consent agenda, EIC, August, meeting minutes? 97 00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:13,290 But it says him, oh I'm sorry, oh I see, so there was a page break and it makes it appear 98 00:25:13,290 --> 00:25:13,970 anyway. 99 00:25:16,150 --> 00:25:18,650 Okay, strike that, my bad. 100 00:25:20,670 --> 00:25:30,310 Okay, so if anyone has any changes to the consent agenda, which are the EAC meeting minutes 101 00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:36,790 from our August meeting, if not, maybe a motion to approve the consent agenda. 102 00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:39,170 I'll make that motion. 103 00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:40,330 Second. 104 00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:41,290 All is in favor? 105 00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:42,110 Aye. 106 00:25:42,910 --> 00:25:43,390 Against? 107 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:44,490 Motion carries. 108 00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:48,560 Regular agenda, old business. 109 00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:57,960 I did send out a kind of a rough bullet point list of items that I think we had discussed 110 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,700 in our last meeting that could be potentially discussed in our joint meeting with the Jupiter 111 00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:10,740 Environmental Task Force next month. Right? Yeah, the end of next month. 112 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,660 Okay, I've got them on a slide show here. 113 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,320 No. 114 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,720 Those are actually not chair freezes ideas. 115 00:26:17,180 --> 00:26:18,320 Those are the committee's ideas. 116 00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:19,640 Your suggestions. 117 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,500 Okay. 118 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:30,680 Okay, so let's just go down the list, review of the Cuesta AC activities, I mean I can 119 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:37,120 certainly put together kind of a bullet point list of some of the things that we have 120 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:37,420 done. 121 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:44,120 I just included three here, I probably missed one and that was the vertical oyster garden. 122 00:26:45,380 --> 00:27:06,680 Is there anything else that we have, especially the committee members that have been here a little bit longer over the past year that I mean, these are the ones that came up. I sort of looked back at our agendas from previous months and just came up with a few if I'm missing something please. 123 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:14,420 I kind of went through it in my usual way where I start out really general and get 124 00:27:14,420 --> 00:27:23,960 start going specifically and when I went through that process it led me to the main 125 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:30,140 question of the two organizations would be if the way I already have or have the potential 126 00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:36,300 to do environmental projects and if they're done independently is there a benefit for us 127 00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:43,460 doing them cohesively instead of continuing independently and of course the first thing 128 00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:49,840 that popped up was the Dover ditch project which yes that was a joint project with benefits 129 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:58,020 for our environment that affects both towns and has certainly done more effectively together 130 00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:06,000 and other things what other things do we have in common with Jupiter and the first one is 131 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,280 the Laxahatchee River. That pertains to stormwater, groundwater flooding, habitat, and development 132 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:23,000 impacts. And we already have an entity, an agency that was at their acronym, the LRPI, 133 00:28:24,010 --> 00:28:30,960 which was the Laxahatchee is the Laxahatchee River Preservation Initiative. That was used 134 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,440 to bring the two municipalities together to do that Doverditch. I believe they were 135 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,240 the ones if Jay correct me if they gave us the grant or gave Jupiter the grant I should say. 136 00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:45,760 And so we have that entity and the other entities there's South Florida Water Management, 137 00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:52,160 the FDEP and the locks out to the river district, the Jupiter inlet district on Beach County 138 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:52,780 and Martin County. 139 00:28:53,580 --> 00:29:01,180 So we have these organizations that already exist in opportunities for collaborative projects. 140 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:12,080 in the Laxahatchee River, Jupiter has their storm water and their flooding and water quality 141 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,080 is the Laxahatchee River. 142 00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:19,780 To Cuesta has the Laxahatchee River, the Indian River Lagoon, and the Atlantic Ocean. 143 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,980 So we affect three bodies, they're all connected, obviously. 144 00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:33,660 And so that led me to thinking, okay, maybe that's where we start off first, is looking 145 00:29:33,660 --> 00:29:42,000 at what our common, I'll call it, resources are, which is the bodies of water that is 146 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,260 affected by the storm water, the water quality. 147 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,820 Are we using the same standards for measurement between the two towns and municipalities? 148 00:29:51,820 --> 00:29:52,840 I'm not sure. 149 00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:58,820 What's the name of... 150 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:19,800 Each town's annual plan, the comprehensive plans do we have a similarity between the two and how we look at our environmental. That's a good point. Do they survey? I know we surveyed. Is there anything in there that's common? 151 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:27,120 And those do I have on their wastewater, groundwater, resiliency, development standards. 152 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:37,290 What if one community builds, approves some type of development that actually ends up 153 00:30:37,290 --> 00:30:41,910 affecting, I'll just say, storm water in our area. 154 00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:50,170 The nutrient, actually this is a common one that I did find between the two of us. 155 00:30:50,170 --> 00:30:56,390 We have fertilizer bands, we both have those, but I think to question this is a bit more 156 00:30:56,390 --> 00:31:01,650 stringent with the nitrogen and phosphorus being specific, so the water quality obviously 157 00:31:01,650 --> 00:31:02,290 is affected. 158 00:31:02,290 --> 00:31:03,710 So it's a commonality. 159 00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:13,690 So finding those first and then kind of work out to what all the specifics projects that 160 00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:14,230 could be. 161 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:21,610 And, of course, we don't want to create another layer of bureaucracy or another entity 162 00:31:21,610 --> 00:31:25,370 which just wants something that we can continue to work together to improve. 163 00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:32,490 What I see is our biggest commonality is the water, that's just what I agree with. 164 00:31:34,030 --> 00:31:43,390 And PFAS, obviously, that's one of the categories under water quality, so if we have, when we 165 00:31:43,390 --> 00:31:52,210 have this meeting with Jupiter I envision us identifying say three or four broad categories 166 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:58,770 perhaps they are what I just mentioned or additions or whatever and then in those categories 167 00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:03,810 where do our little projects fit in that are common and then where do we go from there. 168 00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:08,890 And if I can just jump in for a minute we do have Utilities Director Alison Felsberg here 169 00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:16,630 and she has committed to attending the meeting, so she will be there to discuss the shared 170 00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:20,510 water issues and she's actually a former town of Jupiter employees, so she's got a little 171 00:32:20,510 --> 00:32:21,250 bit of pull over there. 172 00:32:22,610 --> 00:32:27,230 So yeah, just want to know, we will be prepared to address some of those commonalities with 173 00:32:27,230 --> 00:32:28,130 Jupiter at the meeting. 174 00:32:28,210 --> 00:32:28,370 Right, 175 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:31,940 sounds. 176 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,400 So did you type all this out or type? 177 00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:39,660 It's not a good organization, I won't be happy to do that and send it out. 178 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:40,780 That'd be great. 179 00:32:41,980 --> 00:32:51,220 If I can make one suggestion, looking into, like, shared land development regulations is a massive undertaking. 180 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,820 And I think probably goes a little bit beyond the scope that the council would want us digging into right now anyways. 181 00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:01,260 We can't even update our zoning code for a year because of state law. 182 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:06,860 So I don't know that that will be the most beneficial, but I do, I like everything else. 183 00:33:06,860 --> 00:33:14,800 And that's a policy change, which I don't think we would be looking at, but can we share the information and have knowledge of it? 184 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,380 If it's something that's very impactful, awesome one or the other. 185 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:27,260 So there's a program in Palm Beach County called I-Park and it's all the different planning directors and we all get together monthly. 186 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:34,400 And then every time Jupiter has a big project, we get notification of it every time and vice versa. 187 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,360 So, and I have a good relationship with their planning department. 188 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,920 So, yeah, so there's already intergovernmental coordination that goes on between us. 189 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,260 Okay. 190 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:44,660 So. 191 00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:46,600 Yeah, I'm not just familiar with those. 192 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,580 So, what was that called? 193 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:49,860 It's called iPark. 194 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,700 I don't even know what it stands for. 195 00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,680 Development impact of some sort. 196 00:33:54,680 --> 00:34:00,800 It's essentially it's essentially it's a clearing house for projects that happen. 197 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,540 and then it's also a group that gets together 198 00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:05,960 to discuss commonalities throughout Palm Beach County. 199 00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:09,460 I think it's IP ARCK. 200 00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:18,320 For instance, the county is doing their own county-wide 201 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,100 transportation master plan, 202 00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,440 and I actually put to get pulled together 203 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,960 all the planning directors from Northern Palm Beach County, 204 00:34:27,220 --> 00:34:30,020 and we all got together, and especially with town 205 00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:31,540 of Drupur, and we all put our heads together 206 00:34:31,540 --> 00:34:36,800 to provide north county specific impact for this county wide project. 207 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,780 So there's already a lot of coordination that goes on at that level. 208 00:34:40,180 --> 00:34:41,660 Okay, that's good. 209 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:50,500 At one point, was there already a joint meeting with the Jupiter Environmental Council in 210 00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:51,560 2425? 211 00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:54,020 There was never, there has not been a joint meeting. 212 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,920 There's been one. 213 00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:55,860 I think there was. 214 00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:59,900 We had one many years ago when the EAC first began. 215 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:11,060 We went to them and shared what we were working on and they were actually very surprised at how much we were doing. 216 00:35:11,380 --> 00:35:14,300 They were not very active at that time. 217 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,780 And to Tom's point, I'd put together a slide show here that shows their meeting history. 218 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,280 They've only had two meetings this year so far. 219 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:36,300 and last year they had four, and in 2024 they had three, so there, and then this is these are kind of the discussion points that they've had at their two meetings this year. 220 00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:44,200 So they did a kind of a trash cleanup at a property that Joe Chasen, who I know, spoke to us, so he's the Jupiter inlet district. 221 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:51,960 And I'm assuming he was speaking to them about the kind of a sand bar issue with the Jupiter inlet, which is a concern, and that's in the town of Jupiter. 222 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:58,520 and then they gave an update on the new Jupiter fire station that's over there kind of by 223 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,920 harbour side and there's a dock that was going in there and that's really from it looks 224 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,460 like the extent of what they've discussed so far this year so I don't know that there 225 00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:09,920 is as engaged as as our committee is at this point. 226 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:17,260 These ideas that I find, that's why I was trying, yeah I was trying to maybe pull back just 227 00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:24,520 a little bit. Yeah, but it's it's it makes sense even beyond Jupiter, we talked about Jupiter in 228 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:30,860 like colony and whoever's impacted in this whole waterway system that we're all responsible for 229 00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:43,200 on a environmental standpoint. So maybe this becomes us making them aware of some other things that 230 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,820 they can be involved with, and certainly we will all benefit, the communities benefit 231 00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:55,580 from our water quality and knowing the storm water and how all those things impact all 232 00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:55,980 of us. 233 00:36:56,820 --> 00:37:00,140 We have jurisdiction lines, but we're all on the same. 234 00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:01,080 What? 235 00:37:02,140 --> 00:37:08,360 If I can jump into one suggestion, I had my own little list of ideas to add on to the committee. 236 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,880 is, you know, when it comes to living shorelines, we really use Jupiter's code as a model. 237 00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:18,580 And I wonder if we can kind of share with them our green building code that we just created 238 00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:22,260 and see if they'd want to adopt that kind of similar to what we did. 239 00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:26,980 You guys have already touched on the water quality and mangrove issue. 240 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:33,060 And then the other one is doing like a biannual or an annual joint update from people like 241 00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:38,480 like Joe and Peter Duid and Mang and all these groups that we have talked. I think a lot 242 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,880 of them do talk to both groups, and it might make sense to just have it be a joint 243 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:44,240 thing. 244 00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:50,700 And I think this is something we've talked about doing in the past where we do one night 245 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:54,780 and we have three or four of them come speak and then we can get the residents excited. 246 00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,040 Like for instance today, if we put something on in social media and said, hey, we have 247 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,680 Peter DeWitt coming, you know, we might have two people come, but if we said, hey, we 248 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,500 have Peter DeWitt, Joe Chason, Mang, all these people come see what they're talking 249 00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:08,680 about. 250 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,140 We might get 10 or 15 people. 251 00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:15,880 So, that's something that I would be interested if you guys are interested in exploring. 252 00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:20,600 No, I think that's sufficient, actually, and it's a communication education piece, isn't 253 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:20,840 it? 254 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,300 Because we can draw more people, that's great. 255 00:38:25,020 --> 00:38:37,220 So I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but didn't we have an evening event one time and had multiple speakers that and it was attended by what like five? 256 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,860 It was like eight to ten. You're selling us short, Brad. 257 00:38:42,060 --> 00:38:45,060 The staff and others. Yeah. 258 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,940 And that one was specific to living shorelines. 259 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,900 It wasn't necessarily local project updates, right? 260 00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:58,220 So I think a lot of people do want to hear what's going on Jupiter in the district, right? 261 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,540 Boaters want to know what's going on with the sand bar issue out there. 262 00:39:02,260 --> 00:39:08,180 People might want updates from Peter to Whit, or from Sue Panella on the Jupiter Narrows project. 263 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:14,720 Or for instance, we've been lucky to not have beach reneurishment issues in the past maybe two winners, 264 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,760 but that winner we had maybe two or three ago that was really bad. 265 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:26,300 maybe we have Andy Stewart from Palm Beach County talk about beach restoration. I think we could 266 00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:33,420 probably make it interesting. Put those topics at the head of the marketing piece and then their 267 00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:38,760 names and who they represent. But at minimum, they're not having to go speak to both committees. 268 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,700 So I think 269 00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:47,120 I think that's probably the easiest selling point and then ideally residents will want 270 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,820 to come as well. 271 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,980 Oh, go ahead. 272 00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:58,040 Sorry, I just wanted to point out one thing. 273 00:39:58,580 --> 00:40:02,380 As it was stated, we are part of the Lockstatshe River Preservation Initiative, but there's also 274 00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:06,920 another organization called the Lockstatshe River Management Coordinating Council, Jupiter 275 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:13,220 and the village on both of those organizations, and we meet both of those organizations meet 276 00:40:13,220 --> 00:40:23,380 quarterly amongst a lot of other groups. The LRMCC actually has a bigger board or committee 277 00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:29,000 whatever you want to call it. The DOT is represented there, South Ford Water Management District, 278 00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:38,260 DEP, Palm Beach County, Martin County, Joe Chason. His organization is part of both of those 279 00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:42,420 boards as well. So it's a really great time where we all come together and talk about our 280 00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:45,780 different projects whether they're funded by those organizations or not. 281 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:52,720 LRPI is the organization that helped us get that funding for the Dover 282 00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:57,020 Ditch Living Shoreline. And so we have provided a couple of updates to them 283 00:40:57,020 --> 00:41:00,440 anytime we're doing work or we just had our warranty inspection. We're providing 284 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,140 those updates to the LRPI board whenever we have those meetings. All of like both 285 00:41:05,140 --> 00:41:09,660 of those meetings are open to the public and so I can share those times with 286 00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:14,980 with Jay any time we're having those meetings, but they're typically on a Monday around 287 00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:23,180 the same time as this, so like 2 to 4, or LRPI's noon to 4, and LRMCC I think is 2 to 4. 288 00:41:23,420 --> 00:41:29,060 I can get the dates though in the times for you if you guys would like to attend because 289 00:41:29,060 --> 00:41:29,680 they're really great. 290 00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,380 We get presentations for DOT on some of their projects. 291 00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:38,040 Palm Beach County does a lot of projects, I think at the next LRPI meeting their archaeologist 292 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,560 is coming to give an update on just different findings that they have. 293 00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,680 So we get a lot of updates through those programs and interact. 294 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,460 But I do think the missing link is like obviously the public education of it. 295 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,420 That's just within our organizations where we're sharing the information about the projects. 296 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:57,820 But it doesn't necessarily come all the way to you all or to the public. 297 00:41:58,260 --> 00:41:58,440 Okay. 298 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,640 So there's a lot of interagency communication. 299 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,280 It's just more behind the scenes. 300 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,700 I mostly need a road map of all the so many 301 00:42:06,460 --> 00:42:15,360 acronyms and all. Yeah, just to kind of kind of see what are they all. Yeah, it says on one piece of paper so that it's also the locks that you 302 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:24,580 River District. Right. I mean, we all have those those coordinating council meetings. So the LRMCC we meet at the River Center 303 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:32,820 in Jupiter, and then for the LRPI right now we're meeting at the Town of Jupiter's Utility 304 00:42:32,820 --> 00:42:40,640 Field Office which is back behind the fire station, oh I'm bad with directions. 305 00:42:41,060 --> 00:42:42,700 Is it the old bush wildlife area? 306 00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:43,020 No. 307 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,200 If you're coming into Indian Town and you turn left where the fire station is and you go 308 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,760 past it like Uncle Mix, go to the light, after the fire station light you turn left, you 309 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,760 We follow that road all the way down and around and it's back tucked by the woods. 310 00:42:56,180 --> 00:42:56,900 My stone creek? 311 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:57,340 Yes. 312 00:42:57,720 --> 00:42:58,840 Back in my stone creek, thank you. 313 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:14,520 Alison, my recollection is that the state through FDEP created that as a way to improve 314 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:22,820 the water quality in the locks as you river primarily and are you seeing any improvements that 315 00:43:22,820 --> 00:43:29,040 that are happening, that are reducing direct runoff into the river. 316 00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:35,840 Specifically into the river, the only one that I'm aware of right now is both what we 317 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,880 did with the Doverditch Living Shoreline and then Jupiter has a couple of stormwater projects 318 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:45,980 also that got LRPI funding that helped, yeah, Sims Creek and then they did like an industrial 319 00:43:45,980 --> 00:43:49,220 park stormwater improvement project. 320 00:43:50,100 --> 00:44:05,940 So there's a couple of projects that are reducing runoff or reducing nitrogen or phosphorus loading and that's how in general terms when we're going for projects, that's how we all measure our projects when it comes to storm water and the environment. It's nutrient load reduction. 321 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:15,260 So our two municipalities aren't monitoring this individually. It's through these agencies. So we're using the same standard measurements. 322 00:44:15,260 --> 00:44:20,860 For the most part, there is BMPs that are passed down through DEP, and then there's 323 00:44:20,860 --> 00:44:25,280 of sorry best management practices from Florida Department of Environmental Protection 324 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,780 that are used by a lot of municipalities, that's kind of like our standard. 325 00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:33,980 And then when it comes to flooding and rainfall, it's South Florida Water Management District 326 00:44:33,980 --> 00:44:35,000 and they're standards. 327 00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:40,060 That's typically what municipalities are using, and it can vary a little bit by different 328 00:44:40,060 --> 00:44:42,220 municipalities, but that's the general standard. 329 00:44:42,220 --> 00:44:49,000 So between our two we're we're using those universal standards for those agents. I believe so I'd have to double check 330 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,120 But they're pretty similar. There might be a little difference here or there, but they're pretty similar. Yes 331 00:44:54,020 --> 00:44:59,060 And we all were a part of the MS4 program. So we're joined with them upon beach County 332 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,860 For this whole program to reduce pollutants in the locks, hatchee, river, and locks, hatchee, river, and management, coordinating council did come from that as well. So that's the coordinating council that's responsible for improving the river's quality and they keep track of all of the different projects that are included in that. So there's a whole spreadsheet that we update annually with every municipality's projects and where we're at an estimated nutrient load reduction for each project and where the projects are at. 333 00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:39,140 So that's all compiled by the LRMCC and it's sent to DEP and then LRPI is kind of a funding 334 00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:41,520 bridge that helps get funding for some of those projects. 335 00:45:51,780 --> 00:45:54,980 So who's preparing the agenda for this meeting? 336 00:45:55,420 --> 00:45:56,720 It sounds like a bureaucrat. 337 00:45:58,740 --> 00:46:07,280 So Brad, myself and then I believe two members of staff at the town of Jupiter are having 338 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,500 a meeting on October 1st to kind of map out the agenda. 339 00:46:10,860 --> 00:46:16,380 So I assume we'll get our list of discussion points to them in advance so they can review 340 00:46:16,380 --> 00:46:22,800 that and then we'll hopefully brainstorm and figure out what to kind of what to put on 341 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,720 there to make it the most efficient meeting because we also don't want to throw the kitchen 342 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:31,580 sink at everything and then have it become an unproductive meeting. 343 00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:35,900 So, um, maybe it's focused on a few. Yeah, you know, it's 344 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,140 worries, but each category 345 00:46:39,140 --> 00:46:44,860 may have bullets. Bullets that you don't have to get into specifically, just get the broadest 346 00:46:44,860 --> 00:46:46,120 ones first. 347 00:46:49,110 --> 00:46:54,230 So I like the idea of the locks of Hatchee River being a focus, because we do 348 00:46:54,230 --> 00:47:00,730 share it physically with them. And there's, I mean, but there is a lot that goes into that 349 00:47:00,730 --> 00:47:07,790 with regard to stormwater, with regard to water quality, I mean there's a lot of it, but 350 00:47:08,850 --> 00:47:14,810 you know, if we were to just narrow it down to one area, I think that would be a good one, 351 00:47:14,890 --> 00:47:21,010 because there's plenty to pick from that. What about the other shared entity that's great as Jay 352 00:47:21,010 --> 00:47:27,670 Lona? You know, it sounds like Peter has in, you know, kind of an issue that he wants the spearhead, 353 00:47:27,670 --> 00:47:34,550 And maybe it's an opportunity to partner with them to help them find that sponsor or donors 354 00:47:34,550 --> 00:47:37,650 that would do the trail project he wants to do. 355 00:47:39,110 --> 00:47:41,230 Or it looks like they do clean-ups. 356 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:46,750 Maybe there's an opportunity to do a joint town of Jupiter to quest a clean-up at J. Lona for Peter. 357 00:47:47,250 --> 00:47:47,930 That's a good talk. 358 00:47:50,290 --> 00:47:57,990 Is he going to get together with or get me some more information in regards to what that monetary 359 00:47:59,570 --> 00:48:01,410 I'm going to touch base with them about that. 360 00:48:01,630 --> 00:48:03,790 There's something else I wanted to pick as brain about too. 361 00:48:07,330 --> 00:48:11,250 So we've got two ideas for the meeting kind of broad. 362 00:48:13,010 --> 00:48:17,790 I think that one of a third one could possibly be the education piece. 363 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:20,910 They have common videos, 364 00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:28,120 common pamphlets, common everything that we are, 365 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,220 that we have available to our citizens in Jupiter and Equesta. 366 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:41,520 I see us as supporting Peter because there is so much misinformation out there and disgruntled 367 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,920 people. 368 00:48:42,140 --> 00:48:42,980 They don't understand. 369 00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:47,300 And I don't think they're going to go to a government website and sit and read all that 370 00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:47,540 stuff. 371 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:48,340 I know I don't. 372 00:48:48,620 --> 00:48:50,040 I mean, let me back up. 373 00:48:50,460 --> 00:48:52,060 Before these meetings, I do research. 374 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,260 But in general, if I was on this committee, I would not be doing that kind of research. 375 00:48:56,260 --> 00:49:01,440 So, I think if we put some materials together and we have it available and it's a cooperative 376 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:08,720 effort and it's the same word that's getting out to all of our residents, I think it's 377 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:14,720 consistent, I think it'd be very helpful and one of the pieces there can be gelona, another 378 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:21,500 piece can be the loxahatchee river, you know we can focus on some key things that we have 379 00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:23,980 and common with Jupiter. 380 00:49:24,580 --> 00:49:28,360 Come up with innovative, creative ways to educate 381 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:29,960 because we have to write something. 382 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:30,600 They're not. 383 00:49:30,980 --> 00:49:32,540 I mean, the materials on the website, 384 00:49:32,540 --> 00:49:34,180 you could take stuff from there. 385 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,720 I mean, we don't reinvent the wheel. 386 00:49:37,420 --> 00:49:39,320 But nobody's going to sit on a website 387 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,920 and do that kind of research. 388 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:41,940 You know, let's hear. 389 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:44,020 I don't know. 390 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,080 There are people. 391 00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:47,240 But yeah, it has to be entertaining. 392 00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:48,460 We have a lot of events. 393 00:49:48,740 --> 00:49:49,800 They have a lot of events. 394 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,220 How can we get ready to present this at our various events? 395 00:49:54,460 --> 00:49:56,000 Well, we already have a captive audience. 396 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,780 Like when you all did the oyster walls, 397 00:50:00,420 --> 00:50:02,620 you were at an event already 398 00:50:02,620 --> 00:50:04,960 and so people came around and got involved. 399 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,620 You know, that wouldn't have happened 400 00:50:07,620 --> 00:50:10,420 if you were just inviting people to come here 401 00:50:10,420 --> 00:50:11,780 and create the little oyster. 402 00:50:12,220 --> 00:50:12,500 Exactly. 403 00:50:12,740 --> 00:50:13,840 It wouldn't have happened. 404 00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:17,340 So that's what I see as an important piece 405 00:50:17,340 --> 00:50:23,960 that as a group here we can do, we're kind of limited because we're just a small group. 406 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,800 We meet only once a month. They only meet quarterly at best. 407 00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:36,260 So correct me if I'm wrong. You're saying so all events that happen from tequested to 408 00:50:36,260 --> 00:50:42,380 Jupiter, we invite each other to is that because I think it would be great. 409 00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:49,760 I think we do a great job of just the quest of events and like for instance the shredded event, you know, we're gonna be great. 410 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,840 The U.S. is going to that or yeah, I will be there. 411 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,120 And then we have a, I'm sorry, go ahead and I'll push you, go ahead and I'll push you. 412 00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:01,100 We have a quite a, quite an agenda of events coming up in the park. 413 00:51:01,460 --> 00:51:06,900 They started to publish what's gonna be happening when our seasonal residents come back. 414 00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:12,980 So now it's going to start picking up, and we have, you know, more opportunity to be present. 415 00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:21,040 I was just going to say that Jay is so good about incorporating the ideas of incorporating 416 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:27,420 us into existing town events, because you're absolutely right about the oyster thing that 417 00:51:27,420 --> 00:51:27,600 arrives. 418 00:51:28,420 --> 00:51:34,660 Yeah, you capture when you're at an event that's not specifically for education of a specific 419 00:51:34,660 --> 00:51:39,400 big thing, but always being visible somehow at these events, which we've talked about. 420 00:51:39,580 --> 00:51:45,000 I'm just going to forget how we do it, but also with Jupiter. I like the piece of it, 421 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:50,840 like Jelona, having the same information and verbiage go out so that it's consistent, 422 00:51:51,380 --> 00:51:52,560 yeah, common message. 423 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,600 Yeah, so it doesn't get it. 424 00:51:55,240 --> 00:52:02,240 Jay, do you know whether or not the Jupiter environmental group do they have, like a page 425 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:07,420 on the Jupiter website or anything like that? I looked on there and it didn't. I don't 426 00:52:07,420 --> 00:52:17,020 it's it's there. I mean I didn't see there wasn't much listed at beach cleanups. It was sparse. 427 00:52:17,460 --> 00:52:23,140 Yeah I see this I that's why yeah there's not a lot going on. Sparse for the reason. Yeah so maybe we 428 00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,280 become their energizer. 429 00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:30,260 Well they're gonna have to buy into it you know they're gonna say yeah well 430 00:52:30,260 --> 00:52:33,480 partner with you, and we're going to do this if not. 431 00:52:34,540 --> 00:52:40,280 I mean, I don't know, logically, it would seem they would have way more activity being 432 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,160 such a larger community. 433 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:43,240 But. 434 00:52:45,730 --> 00:52:51,070 Well, they do have two full-time staff members that are called natural resource coordinators. 435 00:52:51,390 --> 00:52:57,330 So I do think they, at the staff level, they probably do just do a lot more environmental 436 00:52:57,330 --> 00:52:58,210 work themselves. 437 00:52:58,210 --> 00:52:59,510 So 438 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:19,340 what do they, what do they have the task force for then if staff is doing the mission of their task force is to provide information and recommendations that count council regarding matters pertaining to environmental enhancement protection and preservation. 439 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:30,580 The task force shall review and offer professional inciting guidance relative to proposed environmentally focused town initiatives and projects including formulation of a comprehensive 440 00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:36,760 of talent sustainability plan. So it looks like they really use them more to kind of vet 441 00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:43,540 environmental projects that they're doing, like that doc that I referenced, or they do 442 00:53:43,540 --> 00:53:50,040 stuff at Solfish Bay Park, or any park projects, it looks like they kind of use them in that way. 443 00:53:51,940 --> 00:53:54,340 So it's an advisory? Yeah, an advisory event, okay. 444 00:53:57,460 --> 00:54:00,980 One further input I had to was maybe it's 445 00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:05,140 good opportunity to kind of share some of the cool things that are happening into Quest 446 00:54:05,140 --> 00:54:06,500 that they may not be aware of. 447 00:54:06,940 --> 00:54:11,820 So Jupyter Narrows, what Sue's doing there, they may not really be even aware of it because 448 00:54:11,820 --> 00:54:13,580 it's technically not in their area. 449 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:19,860 And then the DoverDitch project, you know, because it's on this side of the locks of Hatchee, 450 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,400 I think Jupyter is a little more hands-off with things that are over here, doesn't feel 451 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,560 like Jupyter to them. 452 00:54:26,060 --> 00:54:30,440 And so they may not even be fully aware of the DoverDitch project and kind of how cool 453 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:39,400 that one is. We request Annex, they don't want to pay attention to them. 454 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,300 But I think if we could share those, and then maybe also they could share with us, you know, 455 00:54:45,140 --> 00:54:49,320 because there's probably some projects that they're doing in Jupiter that we're not aware of. 456 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:55,000 When I was looking at all the genders, there were some projects referenced that I'm not even familiar with, and I live in Jupiter. 457 00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:02,140 So maybe you got opportunity for us to just kind of share these things and then get some ideas from each other as well. 458 00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:07,000 All right, so there's a lot of ideas here. 459 00:55:11,530 --> 00:55:26,970 Do you want me and Jay and myself to kind of narrose things down and make it more of an agenda item thing and send it back out to you guys for comment before October 1st. 460 00:55:26,970 --> 00:55:31,670 I mean, I've got a ton of ideas here from you guys. 461 00:55:33,110 --> 00:55:34,110 All right. 462 00:55:34,750 --> 00:55:36,790 But I think what Michelle said is important. 463 00:55:36,950 --> 00:55:40,430 You can have a broad subject title. 464 00:55:42,490 --> 00:55:45,510 And when we're at that meeting with them, 465 00:55:45,670 --> 00:55:48,470 we can't necessarily dive into every single thing. 466 00:55:48,470 --> 00:55:50,770 But if it's on their bullet point wise, 467 00:55:50,970 --> 00:55:54,690 it helps where the speaker, whether it's you or whoever, 468 00:55:54,910 --> 00:55:56,570 they can just say, OK, well, there's this. 469 00:55:56,570 --> 00:56:04,690 But if you find some common, you get a lot of comments and time to just think that thought into people's heads. 470 00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:11,350 Okay. Anything else on this particular agenda item? 471 00:56:14,190 --> 00:56:19,890 Okay. Next agenda item, the Shredded Event on October 10th. 472 00:56:22,540 --> 00:56:25,700 All right. Chair Fries, I just have a quick update on this one. 473 00:56:28,380 --> 00:56:32,380 So, here's a flyer showing our previous shredded event. 474 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:39,120 It was held April 11th, from 9 to 11 in the request of parking lot. 475 00:56:39,620 --> 00:56:41,480 We used to have these with our police department. 476 00:56:41,940 --> 00:56:45,600 It was an opportunity where the police department would do a coffee with a cop program. 477 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,380 And the police department is now actually doing that at local coffee shops. 478 00:56:50,740 --> 00:56:54,360 So they're still doing that, but they're kind of separating out from the shredded event. 479 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:59,700 and because of that the Village Manager thought it'd be a great opportunity to bring the EAC in. 480 00:57:01,420 --> 00:57:06,240 The event is October 10th, from 9 to 11. It's in the ToQuest the parking lot. 481 00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:11,740 We have pup cups, so people, if they bring their dogs, we've got treats for them. 482 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,580 We'll still have coffee for them, and I think doughnuts as well. 483 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,060 And then we would advertise that to come meet the EAC 484 00:57:21,660 --> 00:57:24,700 and learn about some of the cool environmental initiatives 485 00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:27,000 that are happening in the village of Equestop. 486 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,060 I also invited the Jupiter Narrows Conservation Alliance 487 00:57:32,060 --> 00:57:36,340 and the Echo Scouts to come and hand out materials 488 00:57:37,060 --> 00:57:38,520 just to share what they're doing. 489 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,160 They've been such good partners with us 490 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,320 and I figured it would be more entertaining 491 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,400 for people to talk to them as well. 492 00:57:46,580 --> 00:57:49,360 And so we are able to provide educational information 493 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:55,700 at the meeting. One thing that the EC members have asked for in the past is kind of a table cover 494 00:57:55,700 --> 00:58:03,600 that we can use at meetings to kind of show. So we have a design in place with our new logo, 495 00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:06,400 which by the way, look at this new logo that Meg has created. 496 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,460 She did it by hand. No AI assistance at all. 497 00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:21,300 But here's two examples of the table that we can order. 498 00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:24,780 So if you just let us know which one you'd prefer, we'll order that. 499 00:58:25,420 --> 00:58:29,480 And so we'll be able to have a table there and then put some informational material on 500 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,660 the table for you to share to people that are stopping. 501 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,220 So I guess the last thing would be what type of information would you want us to pull together 502 00:58:38,220 --> 00:58:44,700 to have at that table as kind of handouts and flyers to residents. One thing I 503 00:58:44,700 --> 00:58:50,120 thought of is tree protection and tree removal. A lot of residents in the 504 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,940 single-family homes have, you know, they just, they don't even realize that you've 505 00:58:53,940 --> 00:59:03,060 got to, you have requirements for tree protection. I didn't hear that Tom. But it 506 00:59:03,060 --> 00:59:06,380 might be good opportunities to share with people to reach out to us before you 507 00:59:06,380 --> 00:59:07,460 trying to take a tree out. 508 00:59:08,420 --> 00:59:11,060 You know, we could share them our new living shorelines code. 509 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,780 Yeah, maybe share the DoverDitch project, 510 00:59:14,220 --> 00:59:15,980 our new group, bringing building code, 511 00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:18,680 give them some updates on the JLo and a project, 512 00:59:19,220 --> 00:59:20,180 vertical oyster gardens, 513 00:59:20,380 --> 00:59:22,200 just all the things that are kind of out there. 514 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,660 So if you let us know what you'd like us to focus on 515 00:59:26,660 --> 00:59:29,380 for materials, we can pull some stuff together 516 00:59:29,380 --> 00:59:29,980 before the meeting. 517 00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:32,180 I think Jolanda is a big one. 518 00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:37,700 overditch because it's so new. 519 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,280 Who is giving optisan jalan to the public? 520 00:59:43,540 --> 00:59:46,680 Is it really up to kind of us in the town of Jupiter, 521 00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:49,120 or is it one, no? 522 00:59:49,660 --> 00:59:50,380 I'm sorry, is that? 523 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,540 Who is giving optisan jalan to the public? 524 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,800 So they're putting them out there, I think, 525 00:59:55,860 --> 00:59:56,760 in their own channels. 526 00:59:58,340 --> 00:59:59,980 But I think they're really... 527 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:15,280 I think, like you said, Paul, Paul, table, who puts all the drone videos out. So I think they're using some of those people to put things out in local media. But we're happy to give updates as well. 528 01:00:20,140 --> 01:00:32,080 It's twice a year. So this one will probably be the only one we have before spring. No, November. Wait. 529 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,280 October, October and October, right. 530 01:00:34,660 --> 01:00:37,520 Yeah, the last one was April. 531 01:00:38,220 --> 01:00:43,360 So at some point, I think it might be a good idea because we're having, there's been 532 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,680 some, I don't want to say controversy. 533 01:00:46,940 --> 01:00:52,620 There's been some things going on with residents and planting things in the swell and the runoff. 534 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:57,600 So I have just wondering if we need to put that as part of our education package at some 535 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:05,380 point. You know we all get busy in the spring home depots crowded and we all want to plant plant plant plant plant well you 536 01:01:05,380 --> 01:01:11,020 know maybe some information on what not to plant and how to do it you know it might be good. That's a great 537 01:01:11,020 --> 01:01:15,440 suggestion. Mr. Chambers you okay with us doing that so we would we'd put something out about the new 538 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:20,900 right away standards and you know recommendations and what they can plan good with it. 539 01:01:25,610 --> 01:01:27,210 Perfect. It's a great 540 01:01:30,260 --> 01:01:34,060 Well, it will be available by October 10th, your educational materials. 541 01:01:36,410 --> 01:01:36,950 Okay. 542 01:01:37,670 --> 01:01:39,490 Or anything that you might already have. 543 01:01:39,650 --> 01:01:44,890 It doesn't necessarily have to be totally updated, but something that we can have. 544 01:01:45,530 --> 01:01:48,470 And if anyone's mad about it, you just direct them right there. 545 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:51,130 Doug Chambers, public works director. 546 01:01:51,630 --> 01:01:53,650 Oh, he's had enough emails. 547 01:01:57,700 --> 01:02:00,080 Just for the record in case it matters. 548 01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:06,200 the probability is high that I will not be here on October 10th and even if I 549 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,780 am here on October 10th to quest the pines is having their annual street 550 01:02:10,780 --> 01:02:18,080 party that day and I'm president of HOA so I probably will not be here on 551 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:24,270 that day. I'll be here. Anyone else? What time do you need us to get here? Do we need 552 01:02:24,270 --> 01:02:25,530 What do we need to do? 553 01:02:26,970 --> 01:02:28,970 I'll send out a reminder. 554 01:02:29,570 --> 01:02:31,350 We haven't gotten any logistics out yet. 555 01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:33,610 But yeah, probably 845, 9ish. 556 01:02:34,110 --> 01:02:35,310 We'll get here early. 557 01:02:35,670 --> 01:02:36,970 I was maybe going to be out of town, 558 01:02:36,990 --> 01:02:38,790 but I'm going to try and change my plans around. 559 01:02:38,930 --> 01:02:39,910 I know Meg will be there. 560 01:02:40,130 --> 01:02:41,830 Minimum, we both might be there. 561 01:02:42,490 --> 01:02:44,290 And then our clerk's office will be here as well. 562 01:02:44,610 --> 01:02:46,190 They're the ones handling the shredding. 563 01:02:46,990 --> 01:02:48,530 And then I think they have professionals 564 01:02:48,530 --> 01:02:51,250 that handle the shredding that come out as well. 565 01:02:51,250 --> 01:02:54,930 so we have tables are going to be set up for these other guests that we're 566 01:02:54,930 --> 01:02:59,070 having coming as well. We'll give them an opportunity to have a table if they 567 01:02:59,070 --> 01:02:59,230 come. 568 01:03:01,730 --> 01:03:05,190 And can I also suggest that we cancel our 569 01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:08,610 regularly scheduled October meeting since we'll have the shredded event and the 570 01:03:08,610 --> 01:03:13,810 Tana Drupeter meeting is everybody good with that? Yes. Yes. Much appreciated. 571 01:03:18,090 --> 01:03:20,930 All right, Jay, you're back up. Jupiter Nero's Conservation Alliance 572 01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:29,750 construction update. All right. So I've got an update on the Druper Nero's 573 01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:33,470 construction project but I've got a couple of cool videos to share with you. I 574 01:03:33,470 --> 01:03:37,250 don't know if anyone has seen this on our social media but we just posted it 575 01:03:37,250 --> 01:03:43,310 yesterday. It is a three-minute video here from from Sue Panella and the 576 01:03:43,310 --> 01:03:45,310 Druper Nero's about their project. 577 01:04:13,870 --> 01:04:16,690 up. And just like us, he's made our violence, 578 01:04:18,940 --> 01:04:20,360 but he hasn't had any change in it. 579 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:21,660 Are we really good at these eye 580 01:04:29,790 --> 01:04:32,470 -to-corneros conservation lines with the bulls or 581 01:04:32,470 --> 01:04:35,930 sword and youth made our violence through our grassroots community and our 582 01:04:35,930 --> 01:04:41,350 effort. But it didn't start that way. About five years ago, I was looking at old photos 583 01:04:41,350 --> 01:04:46,230 from the 1990s, but these made groups of industry areas. What I saw, 584 01:04:46,710 --> 01:04:47,870 contrasting with what's out there, 585 01:04:50,450 --> 01:04:51,890 I can't believe how much you lost. 586 01:04:52,990 --> 01:04:57,990 I expect for half a century, swimming extraordinarily if howling around these neighborhood islands. 587 01:04:58,210 --> 01:05:02,390 I remember as a young girl, these lush, expansive, healthy neighborhoods, 588 01:05:02,810 --> 01:05:05,210 hanging with birds, and surrounded by marine life. 589 01:05:05,810 --> 01:05:10,570 The excitement of seeing an auntie were spotted in the way and never goes away. 590 01:05:11,290 --> 01:05:15,730 But I realized that if you let these neighborhoods go away, the wildlife that depends on 591 01:05:18,650 --> 01:05:18,770 you. 592 01:05:18,770 --> 01:05:23,790 So an execute phone calls, and folks from FDAC need a homie tiny urm came out, they 593 01:05:23,790 --> 01:05:28,050 snorkel the islands and they agree that this is a downloadable system that has been saved. 594 01:05:28,990 --> 01:05:32,350 They offered advice, but couldn't take the project down themselves. 595 01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:34,530 So I remember thinking, 596 01:05:39,620 --> 01:05:42,140 I was interviewed Mr. J. U.E. for a promotion of conservancy. 597 01:05:42,740 --> 01:05:45,760 He is a director, conservation, here in Florida. 598 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,200 He got excited to partner with me, and that was engaged in. 599 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:53,420 As soon as the passion and drive to get a project of this magnitude done, 600 01:05:53,740 --> 01:05:58,160 what a seed brings is the scientific expertise and the advocacy experience 601 01:05:58,160 --> 01:05:59,320 that we're across from this. 602 01:05:59,940 --> 01:06:03,820 We've got the boat weights in this area from increasing boat traffic 603 01:06:03,820 --> 01:06:08,140 and larger boats is really disturbing the bottom, especially the same bottom 604 01:06:08,140 --> 01:06:11,540 that the home of the native seed grasses that are so important to the area. 605 01:06:12,420 --> 01:06:15,560 Seed grasses is really important to this type of habitat 606 01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:19,060 and it's a big leader intertwined with the role of Negro Houghton. 607 01:06:19,460 --> 01:06:21,140 We will do the solution simple. 608 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:26,540 We want to say a lot of the area about placing lives of brickwalkers along 14 of each of these islands. 609 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,060 And when we do that, we create conditions for sea grass to thrive. 610 01:06:30,500 --> 01:06:36,380 And the main roles that we're going to be playing can really flourish and bring wildlife back to the habitat. 611 01:06:37,260 --> 01:06:40,340 The main role for me only once is extending our reach. 612 01:06:40,340 --> 01:06:46,220 The entire chief executive community is to study up to fund and support this issue. 613 01:06:46,860 --> 01:06:52,640 I mean, in a sense, the community that's rooted here is the one that's paying for them in the next generation. 614 01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:59,720 James C.A. is a trailblazing example of the grassroots organization stepping in to make a real difference. 615 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:08,040 This project is a model for other communities and private landowners to demonstrate how bottom-up efforts can really get us. 616 01:07:28,620 --> 01:07:42,000 So they are actually at the finish line now. So the project is going to happen. They are starting construction very soon. They had a kickoff event last month. It was really well attended. 617 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:51,040 We had Mayor Young gave a great speech, they had Senator Harrell, a few other dignitaries 618 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,840 there, a really great kickoff event. 619 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,900 And so they are going to mobilize on September 16th. 620 01:07:56,020 --> 01:07:59,280 They're going to install their turbidity curtain on September 21st. 621 01:07:59,820 --> 01:08:03,760 And they're going to start rock placement on September 22nd. 622 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:05,240 So imminent. 623 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:09,800 and Sue is expecting them to move relatively fast 624 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,740 and potentially be done by late to mid-Octo November. 625 01:08:14,820 --> 01:08:16,580 So this project's gonna happen quickly. 626 01:08:16,980 --> 01:08:18,040 It's very exciting. 627 01:08:18,580 --> 01:08:22,360 What's the date that Peter gave us on December 20th 628 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:23,820 for the Jupiter Narrows begins? 629 01:08:23,820 --> 01:08:24,960 Is that another phase? 630 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,340 I think he meant North of Cato's bridge. 631 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:34,300 Yeah, I think the contractor is doing the current project 632 01:08:34,300 --> 01:08:40,060 Then they're going to do the Jupyter Narrows and then when they're going to Jupyter Narrows then they move across 633 01:08:40,780 --> 01:08:48,080 to the the project on the north side of Kato's bridge into Cuesta on the west side. 634 01:08:49,020 --> 01:08:54,540 So once they install the brake water, they're going to replenish the mangroves and that is a little areas. 635 01:08:54,740 --> 01:09:00,240 Then they'll replant the mangroves and I think I'm not positive. They're going to do Seagrass Restoration 636 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:05,420 but I think they may be doing seagrass restoration as well or the hope is that the seagrass just, 637 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,020 you know, comes back on its own. I think it did in gelona. 638 01:09:12,060 --> 01:09:14,340 It's hard to plant, but it comes back 639 01:09:14,340 --> 01:09:22,000 naturally. I think, yeah. I think good to show that video to the Jupiter task force because I think 640 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:28,040 one of the comments we received from the board today, this board today was they may not even know 641 01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:36,040 about this project. Yeah that's great. It's really well done. It has their name on it. 642 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:41,300 Yeah I'd be good on our social media. It was posted yesterday on our social media and 643 01:09:41,300 --> 01:09:47,020 has about 27 likes, which is like slightly above average. Yeah. So it's been it's being seen. 644 01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:53,200 So if you see if you are on our social media like it, share it. Yeah. Check it out. I did. 645 01:09:53,200 --> 01:10:04,830 I did want to tell the EAC the following that Sue and Tom Heller, I think his last name 646 01:10:04,830 --> 01:10:14,070 is, they reached out to me five, four years ago, I forgot exactly what, they needed help 647 01:10:14,070 --> 01:10:23,830 with the application that they had to submit and I spent hours with them helping them with 648 01:10:23,830 --> 01:10:32,490 the content that they needed relative to the sequester area. So the conservation element 649 01:10:32,490 --> 01:10:40,750 of the sequester comprehensive plan was all throughout the application to let them know, 650 01:10:40,930 --> 01:10:53,170 to let FDEP, wherever they made this decision, know that sequester's comprehensive plan would 651 01:10:53,170 --> 01:10:59,130 facilitate this sort of thing and so I just thought y'all should know that 652 01:10:59,130 --> 01:11:05,930 because it was a major undertaking and it ended up being successful to get 653 01:11:05,930 --> 01:11:13,210 the permit. Yeah and we did win a grant with them back in 2024 but when President 654 01:11:13,210 --> 01:11:16,630 Trump started his new election he put a freeze on all federal funding of 655 01:11:16,630 --> 01:11:22,990 project so our grant that we won with them got kind of nullified but but we put 656 01:11:22,990 --> 01:11:28,030 together a good grant and then we also just cut them a check for $5,000 as a 657 01:11:28,030 --> 01:11:33,710 support of the project which we could as a village give more money but we did 658 01:11:33,710 --> 01:11:35,650 contribute a little bit financially to it as well. 659 01:11:40,470 --> 01:11:42,450 Anything else on on this 660 01:11:42,450 --> 01:11:51,470 No. Okay. Alright, so a new business. So from time to time, as I read, I come across something 661 01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:58,410 I think would be of interest to the AC. And this was one of those. I hope everyone 662 01:11:58,410 --> 01:12:08,950 had an opportunity to read that memo. So they're looking, they mean the state looking to establish 663 01:12:08,950 --> 01:12:19,670 something similar to the wildlife corridor that they currently have, which I guess to a certain degree was very successful or continues to be very successful. 664 01:12:20,750 --> 01:12:32,070 And they're going to now model that into coastal areas as well as the ocean. So they're going to establish a coastal corridor. 665 01:12:33,630 --> 01:12:43,640 and it sounds like it's fairly new. I think the first year was in, I think it was last year, 666 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:50,420 I could be wrong, the year after that. But if you scroll down to the part that I highlighted, 667 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:57,120 that's the part that kind of caught my eye. Future plans include exploring coastal restoration 668 01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:03,440 projects to help address beach erosion. Lots of coastal mangroves that protect against storm surge 669 01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:07,440 during tropical events and the reduction in natural food stocks is sustained declining 670 01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:09,600 species such as seagrass or mantis. 671 01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:18,660 So I think initially they started this coastal corridor out in the ocean but now it looks 672 01:13:18,660 --> 01:13:24,760 like in this next few years they just say future plans. 673 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:32,320 They may be doing some things in the coastal areas which I know that we have discussed quite 674 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:38,400 a bit in the committee and I thought that would be of interest for everyone to see. I was not aware 675 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:45,980 of the coastal corridor idea and so I this is a recent article and I thought you guys would be 676 01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:53,160 interested in seeing it as well. When they say corridor specific 677 01:13:55,370 --> 01:13:57,410 corridor or the entire 678 01:14:00,150 --> 01:14:05,790 So, yeah, well, the wildlife corridor project, I know just a little bit about it, they were 679 01:14:05,790 --> 01:14:12,830 trying to find very special habitats and connect them together so that, for instance, Florida 680 01:14:13,590 --> 01:14:20,090 Panthers would maybe have like a bridged area where they could, you could kind of connect 681 01:14:20,090 --> 01:14:20,610 all these things. 682 01:14:20,610 --> 01:14:27,730 So I believe the goal here is to connect special, you know, special parts of where there's 683 01:14:27,730 --> 01:14:31,930 coastal ecology that's unique, which we happen out of Coralcove. 684 01:14:32,090 --> 01:14:38,290 We've got J. Lona, so I assume they're going to try and link some of those things together. 685 01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:45,170 Could you be linking J. Lona with peanut island, I mean, and, you know, Phil Foster Bridge, 686 01:14:45,170 --> 01:14:48,570 So definitely some opportunities there. 687 01:14:52,470 --> 01:14:59,830 If you see what Lake, we could reach out to FWC or FWFF and try and get more information. 688 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980 And see if we can have a speaker come dig into it a little bit further. I think it'd be a great idea. Yeah. That's a great fine, Mr. Freeze. Thank you. That's it. That's what I wanted to bring it to your attention. It wasn't, it wasn't clear to me, though, in terms of what they want to do. Is it, is it designed to restore and protect habitat and or is it designed to 689 01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:33,620 to attract, let's call it environmental tourism, 690 01:15:33,860 --> 01:15:34,460 whatever you want to do. 691 01:15:34,460 --> 01:15:35,060 Both, I think. 692 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:35,920 Or is it both? 693 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:36,720 It is both. 694 01:15:36,900 --> 01:15:40,480 It says featuring projects, including habitat restoration, 695 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,340 fisheries enhancement, and improved public access, 696 01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,140 and coastal resilience, so all of it basically. 697 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:52,860 So it could be a conflict, right? 698 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:58,220 You bring more people, is that create more damage to the environment? 699 01:15:58,220 --> 01:16:00,960 It's kind of what I'm getting yet, I don't know. 700 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,180 Like Jolona had to go through, right? 701 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,140 Yeah, same balance of providing both. 702 01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:09,000 But I'd love to have somebody come to me. 703 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,020 Yeah, I think that's a great idea too. 704 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,120 I don't know if we'll be able to get someone to speak, 705 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,100 but we could certainly find more information about it 706 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:20,720 and report that back to you. 707 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,240 So we'll try to come on there. 708 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:23,820 Yeah, well, I mean, we'll try. 709 01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:25,820 We'll try to try to, for sure. 710 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,700 Now I get it, people are busy. 711 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,660 All right, you know the discussion on this 712 01:16:33,820 --> 01:16:39,300 No, thank you for bringing it to our attention. So you're welcome. And by the way if anyone 713 01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:44,660 Comes across something of interest. Do you think the HC would you know send it? 714 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:52,140 Included on the agenda and or just send it to all of our email addresses and it gives us a heads up 715 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:58,880 All right, so that's it for our regular agenda any 716 01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:08,520 Comments from Kidmini members, future agenda items, anything else you want to discuss while we're here because we're we can only discuss together one time a month. 717 01:17:08,660 --> 01:17:30,190 The idea of the issue of artificial turf has that been addressed very much. I see more and more advertisements for artificial turf. I hear rumblings from neighbors and just people in the community that are putting artificial turf in and how much they can put in. 718 01:17:30,190 --> 01:17:33,570 And I'm very confused about that. 719 01:17:33,570 --> 01:17:36,050 And I don't know if it is an issue, or maybe it's not. 720 01:17:36,310 --> 01:17:37,710 We have an ordinance, right? 721 01:17:38,490 --> 01:17:39,870 This is a funky one. 722 01:17:40,190 --> 01:17:43,730 So we adopted an artificial turf ordinance a couple 723 01:17:43,730 --> 01:17:46,430 of years ago, and it limited the amount of artificial turf 724 01:17:46,430 --> 01:17:47,170 you can put in. 725 01:17:47,670 --> 01:17:50,470 Also, artificial turf is not allowed in the right way, 726 01:17:50,730 --> 01:17:54,350 and has not been allowed in the right way for some time. 727 01:17:55,070 --> 01:17:59,070 But the state in the most recent legislative session 728 01:17:59,070 --> 01:18:06,710 this past spring, made new laws that says that municipalities cannot prohibit artificial 729 01:18:06,710 --> 01:18:09,930 turf on single-family lots that are smaller than one acre. 730 01:18:10,770 --> 01:18:19,490 So we had to go back and essentially amend our code, our artificial turf code, to exempt 731 01:18:19,490 --> 01:18:21,590 properties that are under one acre. 732 01:18:22,970 --> 01:18:26,350 So you may see more artificial turf out there in the community. 733 01:18:26,350 --> 01:18:33,310 This, they did create some environmental standards in there, for instance, you can't have artificial 734 01:18:33,310 --> 01:18:39,550 turf within 10 feet of a water body or a seawall, so that the artificial turf isn't flowing 735 01:18:39,550 --> 01:18:43,390 right into water bodies, so they did a few things like that. 736 01:18:43,770 --> 01:18:51,930 They said that artificial turf can't have PFAS in it, don't they all come back to the 737 01:18:51,930 --> 01:19:01,590 I think there are some that are environmentally friendly and don't have, there's a very specific substance that they quoted that you're not allowed to have. 738 01:19:03,450 --> 01:19:10,730 So then from a regulatory perspective, the village just defaults to the state. 739 01:19:11,010 --> 01:19:15,650 Had legally have to, we'd get sued if we were in contradiction to it. 740 01:19:15,650 --> 01:19:21,510 If you'd like to, I can give you a more detailed update on that at the next meeting. 741 01:19:21,510 --> 01:19:24,910 I guess that'll be in November, but I can bring that forward to you. 742 01:19:25,190 --> 01:19:31,190 So you know the specifics, probably good to know, as environmental leaders in the community 743 01:19:31,190 --> 01:19:32,350 if people are asking you. 744 01:19:38,060 --> 01:19:38,920 Anything else? 745 01:19:39,440 --> 01:19:40,900 Anything else from anyone on? 746 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:41,840 All right. 747 01:19:43,180 --> 01:19:45,140 And I looked this up after the last meeting. 748 01:19:45,300 --> 01:19:47,000 We don't need to vote to adjourn the meeting. 749 01:19:47,220 --> 01:19:47,880 I thought we did. 750 01:19:48,420 --> 01:19:55,620 you looked it up I looked it up Robert's Rules of Order so I can I can adjourn the meeting 751 01:19:55,620 --> 01:20:03,080 unless we don't complete all of our agenda and you want to leave early then it has to 752 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:08,830 go to a majority vote okay so I'll adjourn the meeting. 753 01:20:11,710 --> 01:20:12,170 Oh 754 01:20:15,440 --> 01:20:24,220 yeah, which which one number one is that the one to the side with the logo of the 755 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:25,540 That's number one. 756 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:25,880 Yeah. 757 01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:26,980 One for that one is the two. 758 01:20:27,220 --> 01:20:27,680 I like this.
